Description
If you’re chasing the woody snap and comfortable grip of a vintage Stratocaster®, this Classic Series 60’s neck gets you there without touching a soldering iron. Built by Fender at the Ensenada, Mexico facility, it pairs a maple neck with a pau ferro fingerboard for a slightly warmer, smoother-feeling alternative to rosewood, while keeping the look and playability players expect from a 60’s-spec Strat®.
- Maple neck with pau ferro fingerboard
- Comfortable “C”-shaped profile, true to 60’s Strat® ergonomics
- 7.25″ fingerboard radius for that vintage, slightly curved feel under the fingers
- 21 vintage-style frets
- Vintage-style heel-adjust truss rod
The 7.25″ radius is the giveaway here — it’s the same tighter curve found on early Strats®, which naturally encourages chunky chord work and that classic bent-note choke as you push toward the edges of the board. Combined with the rounder “C” profile, it’s a shape built for players who want their neck to feel like it belongs in 1965, not 2005.
Because the truss rod adjusts at the heel, setup happens where Fender originally intended, keeping the headstock uncluttered and the vintage aesthetic intact. Whether you’re restoring an aging Strat®, building a partscaster from scratch, or just want to swap in a period-correct feel, this neck drops in as a genuine, factory-built replacement.
